The Making of the Sermon

For the Class-Room and the Study

by T. Harwood Pattison

Excerpt

Although we may be disposed to challenge the implication which it contains, I think we may all join in Thomas Carlyle's sentiment when he wrote: I wish he could find the point again — this speak ing one, and stick to it with tenacity, with deadly energy — for there is need of him yet.

Rather than encumber the pages of the book with the many formal divisions needed in the class room, I have prefixed to each chapter a summary of its contents, analyzed for the benefit of the stu dent. For the index which may better answer the purposes of the ordinary reader, I am indebted to the generous offices of my friend, the Rev. R. Kerr Eccles, M. D., of Bowling Green, Ohio.
